@antonycookes: Pigs ears two ways. The first inspired by a salad I had at Xi’an Impressions; the second deep fried and coated in a lovely Southeast Asian style glaze. Both very lovely dishes. For the Sichuan brine: Rice wine Soy sauce Ginger Garlic Dried chillies Sichuan peppercorns Star anise For the lovely Southeast Asian glaze: Lemongrass Garlic Ginger Birds eye chillies Oyster sauce Sugar (Pull out the lemongrass before tossing the ears) That glaze would work equally well with something more mainstreamly palatable such as fried chicken. #pigsear #sichuancuisine #salad #pickledcucumber #offal
